Selecting a Switch Mounting Method

The Switch can be placed on a table top or other surface, or it can be mounted
in an equipment rack.

Placing the Switch on a Surface (Table-top
Mounting)

You can set the Switch on a surface, such as a table top, and operate it from
that location. Although adhesive rubber feet are included in the Installation
Kit, they are not necessary for proper or safe operation of the Switch. If you
want to install the rubber feet, perform these steps:

Use the alcohol wipes to clean the depression in each corner of the
bottom of the chassis; allow the alcohol to dry.

Remove the rubber feet from the sheet and insert one in each depression.

Press the rubber feet in place firmly.

For table-top mounting continue the installation procedure with Installing the
GBIC Modules.

NOTE: If you attach rubber feet, you have to remove them before you can install the
Switch in a 19-inch equipment rack.

Mounting the Switch in an Equipment Rack

You can install the Switch in a RETMA 41U or 42U rack, in a Compaq rack,
or in a metric SW600 rack. Observe the following guidelines:

When you install the Switch in a closed or multi–rack assembly, be sure
the air temperature measured at the Switch front panel does not exceed
40° C (104° F).

Make sure the air flow to the Switch is at least 300 cfpm.

Verify that when the Switch is installed it does not unbalance the rack or
exceed the rack mechanical limits, both with the slide brackets secured
and with the slide brackets fully extended.

Verify that the supply circuit, the line fuse, and the wire size are
appropriate for the service.
